Abstract
La–Sn–Mn–O (LSnMO) thin films epitaxially grown on single-crystal substrates by pulsed-laser deposition are reported. The films have a perovskite structure and perform the colossal magnetoresistance effect with the maximum magnetoresistance (MR) ratio of 103% (at 233 K and 6 T). The dependence of electrical transport and magnetic properties on the film thickness has been studied. The analyses reveal that the electrical transport, in contrast with the magnetic phase transition, is more sensitive to the thickness of the films.
